http://www.vernissage.tv | The renowned Cuban artist duo Los Carpinteros present three new art installations at the Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina currently presents a solo exhibition of the collective Los Carpinteros. Los Carpinteros (The Carpenters) are considered as one of the most relevant international artists that emerged from Cuba in the last decade of the 20th century. Los Carpinteros is an artist duo consisting of Marco Castillo and Dagoberto Rodríguez. They chose to present themselves as Los Carpinteros in 1994, because they wanted to renounce the notion of individual authorship and refer to an older guild tradition of artisans. In their installations, sculptures and watercolors, Los Carpinteros mix design, architecture, and urbanism.
